Levítico 21
1 Y JEHOVÁ dijo á Moisés: Habla á los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón, y diles que no se contaminen por un muerto en sus pueblos.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, There shall none defile himself for the dead among his people,
2 Mas por su pariente cercano á sí, por su madre, ó por su padre, ó por su hijo, ó por su hermano,
except for his kin, who is near to him: for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.
3 O por su hermana virgen, á él cercana, la cual no haya tenido marido, por ella se contaminará.
And for his sister a virgin, who is near to him, who has had no husband, for her he may defile himself.
4 No se contaminará, [porque es] príncipe en sus pueblos, haciéndose inmundo.
He shall not defile himself, who is a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguños.
They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 Santos serán á su Dios, y no profanarán el nombre de su Dios; porque los fuegos de Jehová y el pan de su Dios ofrecen: por tanto serán santos.
They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God. For they offer the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
7 Mujer ramera ó infame no tomarán: ni tomarán mujer repudiada de su marido: porque es santo á su Dios.
They shall not take a woman who is a harlot, or profane, neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband, for he is holy to his God.
8 Lo santificarás por tanto, pues el pan de tu Dios ofrece: santo será para ti, porque santo soy yo Jehová vuestro santificador.
Thou shall sanctify him therefore, for he offers the bread of thy God. He shall be holy to thee, for I Jehovah, who sanctify you, am holy.
9 Y la hija del varón sacerdote, si comenzare á fornicar, á su padre amancilla: quemada será al fuego.
And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the harlot, she profanes her father. She shall be burnt with fire.
10 Y el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fué derramado el aceite de la unción, y que hinchió su mano para vestir las vestimentas, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni romperá sus vestidos:
And he who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head go loose, nor tear his clothes,
11 Ni entrará donde haya alguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, ó por su madre se contaminará.
neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother,
12 Ni saldrá del santuario, ni contaminará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él: Yo Jehová.
neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God, for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am Jehovah.
13 Y tomará él mujer con su virginidad.
And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 Viuda, ó repudiada, ó infame, ó ramera, éstas no tomará: mas tomará virgen de sus pueblos por mujer.
A widow, or one divorced, or a profane woman, a harlot, these he shall not take, but he shall take to wife a virgin of his own people.
15 Y no amancillará su simiente en sus pueblos; porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
And he shall not profane his seed among his people, for I am Jehovah who sanctifies him.
16 Y Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Habla á Aarón, y dile: El varón de tu simiente en sus generaciones, en el cual hubiere falta, no se allegará para ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
Speak to Aaron, saying, Whoever he is of thy seed throughout their generations who has a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 Porque ningún varón en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará: varón ciego, ó cojo, ó falto, ó sobrado,
For whatever man he is who has a blemish, he shall not approach: not a blind man, or a lame man, or he who has a flat nose, or anything superfluous,
19 O varón en el cual hubiere quebradura de pie ó rotura de mano,
or a man who is broken-footed, or broken-handed,
20 O corcovado, ó lagañoso, ó que tuviere nube en el ojo, ó que tenga sarna, ó empeine, ó compañón relajado;
or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or who has a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or has his testicles broken.
21 Ningún varón de la simiente de Aarón sacerdote, en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará para ofrecer las ofrendas encendidas de Jehová. Hay falta en él; no se allegará á ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
No man of the seed of Aaron the priest, who has a blemish, shall come near to offer the offerings of Jehovah made by fire; he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 El pan de su Dios, de lo muy santo y las cosas santificadas, comerá.
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy,
23 Empero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se allegará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él: y no profanará mi santuario, porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
only he shall not go in to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish, that he not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.
24 Y Moisés habló esto á Aarón, y á sus hijos, y á todos los hijos de Israel.
So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
